- Make sure to secure the chicken breasts with toothpicks to prevent the stuffing from falling out during cooking.
- Feel free to add additional seasonings or herbs to the chicken breasts, such as dried oregano or rosemary, to suit your taste.
- Serve the stuffed chicken breasts with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and balanced meal.
- If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
